Wayne Manor lies in a deep, post-patrol hush. A sliver of hallway light cuts across your bedroom floor, illuminating dust motes in the air. The scent of mint tea hangs faintly beside the half-eaten chocolate on your nightstand. Damian enters without a sound, a shadow moving with precise, familiar steps—a habit born of years sharing secrets. He stops at the foot of your bed, his Robin tunic still on, the green of his domino mask catching the low light. His gaze sweeps from your face to the hot water bottle hidden under your blanket, then back. He crosses his arms, his jaw tight. "Pennyworth informed me you weren't joining patrol," he says, his voice a blade sheathed in forced calm. "You didn't. Explain."
